About us

There has never been a more exciting time to join West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust!

The Trust is in line to receive government funding for major redevelopment works with construction due to start on new buildings in 2024. Plans include a new building at Watford General Hospital to house all clinical services with our hospitals at Hemel Hempstead and St Albans being refurbished throughout with some new buildings.

But our redevelopment is not just about new buildings. Each of our three hospitals will have a clearer role and a higher level of specialist care. This is a unique chance to be at the forefront of national efforts to transform how healthcare is provided for local people. Our hugely experienced project team of senior clinicians, architects, planners and construction experts have shaped our plans which embrace the latest best practice, including advances in design and digital healthcare.

The Trust is delighted to have recently been awarded Teaching Hospital status in recognition of its wide and well-renowned role in educating doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. We have recently opened a multi-storey car park at Watford General Hospital.

We encourage and welcome people with disabilities to apply. For more information, please do not hesitate to contactalex.sarkodie@nhs.net

We strive to live by our Commitment, Care and Quality values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging.
